The public procurement process involves the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) as the buying organisation. The contract, titled "NE CSF CCS Core services phase 2- WSP," falls under the Construction consultancy services industry category, with a focus on works. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, having been completed on 3rd June 2025, with the contract awarded to WSP UK Limited. This project is located in the North East of the United Kingdom and is valued at £497,953.15. Key dates include an initial tender period ending on 19th February 2025 and a contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process utilised a direct procurement method under a single tender action, deemed below the threshold for competitive tendering.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the construction consultancy sector to observe successful procurement processes used by large governmental bodies such as Defra. While the contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities may favour large firms due to the nature and scale of the contract. Smaller companies or Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) may find it challenging to qualify due to specific suitability requirements. However, partnering with larger firms or forming consortia could open avenues for participation in similar tenders, allowing for growth through experience and association with significant public sector projects.
